Stranded at 66 degrees North, where everyone has secrets and holiday folklore is filled with tales of blood and violence, two lonely characters are drawn together in search of the only thing both of them want for Christmas: revenge.
A struggling young waitress working the only bar in a tiny fishing village in Iceland’s East Fjords endures another Christmas alone. The holiday means even less to a weary, damaged detective forced to return to his desolate hometown to solve the murder of a foreigner found beneath the moldering pier. A short story by Edward Weinman.
